Title: Finest Hour - WWII Tank combat
Post by: bayonetbrant on August 21, 2013, 03:23:12 PM
can someone with an iGizmo check this out and tell us if it's worth 2 hoots?

Looks very cool, but would like an actual player's report :)

For $0.99, it's ok. The play is Internet turn-based. You get hooked up via their server, make your moves and then wait for the other guy. There's a 48-hour limit for waiting for moves.

Yeah, I didn't like that either. Nonetheless, my two opponents have been timely. Movement, facing and fire is believable.

Play includes stunning and mobilization hits as well as kills.  Opportunity shots during your opponent's turn is included.

I'm going to push this game. The mechanics are fine and the server works well. Victory and even knocking out tanks in a defeat gives you stars with which you can but better tanks, thus allowing creation of a task force The initial $0.99 is the only money out of pocket.
